[Nook Color General] w8wca:
Did you try the 8 Interupted powercycles?

With power off - turn it on

As soon as you can tell it is starting up, hold down on the power button until it turns off

Do this 8 times in a row.

After that turn it on - it should start "updating" installing B&N OS back on it
[Nook Color General] kmcmanimen:
I will definitely try the 8 times in a row reset to see if that makes a difference.

I guess an easier way of asking my question... does anyone know where the serial number and model number are stored? Is it possible to utilize ADB or something else to set the serial and model numbers?
[Nook Color General] biohazrd51:
ADB does have a command for serial numbers. I believe its 'adb get-serialno" but I don't know what it returns on the NC as I've never done it.

Additionally, and somebody correct me if I'm wrong please, wasn't there a partition on the emmc that held device specific information (serial numbers, etc) that was required for the system to be fully operational? I tried doing a quick search, but couldn't find anything.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
This info is stored in plain text files in the /devconf directory on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Serial Number is stored in 2 files... DeviceID and SerialNumber

Model Number is stored in ModelNumber

MAC Address is stored in MACAdress

These are also saved in rombackup.zip on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3... which along with factory.zip there is what the nook uses for 8 failed boot factory reset.

You can pull the rombackup.zip file... extract those files... then adb push the files by mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 to /rom then pushing them to /rom

[Nook Color General] kmcmanimen:
Can you give me the adb command to run in order to pull the rombackup file?
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Sorry... missed you asaking that.

To pull rom backup:

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /rom

adb pull /rom/rombackup.zip

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pyro530:
Submissions closed, thanks everyone.

I am looking for two members to test fit a couple of cases from our first production run for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7510.)

They must be inside of the United States, we will pay for the shipping and you can keep the cases. Both are leather folio style cases.

I will consider the first 5 or 6 PM's I receive, we are looking for forum members with good reputations.

You will be asked to give me feedback on the fit and a review and possibly photos.

EDIT: Update, wow that was quick, I think we have all we need!

Okay everyone, these are the two cases we have to test:

Clip Case:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] cleblanc92:
That clip case looks nice. I have something similar to the full cover case that I can compare it to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] SeanHacker:
So I was given the opportunity to test out 2 cases by Pyro Skins. This is one of them and it is my favorite for sue. It's made of high quality materials. It fits the tab perfectly and the clips hold the tab very firmly without even coming close to marking up the tab. It doesn't add too much bulk to the already thin tab. It doesn't cover any of the hardware buttons at all. It feels great to carry around and it looks really classy. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone! This company did an awesome job with this one and

there isn't anything I think I would change about it.

Here's a video review so you an see it in action!!! http://youtu.be/Icy2XGehC_k?hd=1

My x2 doesnt seem to wont to update to gingerbread i tried to install the pre rooted gingerbread from p3 yesterday to no avail ..i tried wiping data and cache after several failed installs coming rooted 2.2 i decided to try the locked down offical update from vzw. The update always fails to install after it reboots and goes into the recovery. Upon rebooting and goin back to the homescreen the installation still fails. Any suggestions . i even tried unrooting and removing apps that required super user access and still no luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
You need to SBF your phone back to complete stock in order to install either update. There can't be any removed system apps, or modified system files.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
yeah do that also you understand that both versions Are exactly THE SAME XDDDDD, The only difference is the rooted one has a patch
[Motorola Droid X2] iCurmudgeon:
You are not the only one. I did a pre-emptive total defrost and factory reset before downloading the update, so everything should have been stock. The update starts to install, makes it about a fourth of the way through, then the phone reboots and tells me the update failed. After spending an hour with Verizon's tech support I finally convinced them to replace the phone, hopefully with one that already has the update installed..

God, I'm starting to hate smartphones. My old Moto KRZR never gave me this kind of trouble ... I'm seriously thinking of going back to it.
[Motorola Droid X2] depco164:
Ok, Just so I have this right. I have to reset the phone to factory settings, then update to GB. A simple unroot will not do the trick. (I tried this and the update failed)

I factory reset my wife's DX before updating to GB and had no issues.

Also as of this post it appears there is no way to root GB 2.3.3 correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:
Nope. Needs to be prerooted because the exploit used by gingerbreak is fixed in the update.
[Motorola Droid X2] nanodan:
Go to my thread here, it explains how to install the update.
[Motorola Droid X2] dadi4168:
Here's what I did:

From a rooted 2.2.2 - unrooted using gingerbreak, then followed the spf tutorial.

Now back to stock with all my apps, ran the update. Installed fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] DJJasonK:
SBF

Just do the SBF procedure listed on several threads and it will work fine. Something that has been done to your phone isn't playing nice with either update. There is virtually no difference between the updates other than the patch for root. I format and factory reset, then sbf and then wipe/data in recovery every time before I flash new roms or updates, just to eliminate any crap that might cause problems. Helps to narrow down what I need and don't need. If I forget to re-install it, I probably don't need it anyways. Good Luck. After root try the eclipse rom it pretty basic mostly just a debloat.
[Motorola Droid X2] Smokncars:
so you can not yet root when you do the GB update......
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UgO87:
Once i've downgrade my phone to a rootable version is it possible to undo it by updating again to a official updated version?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Yes but you would probably need to flash the appropriate RUU as, most (if not all ), custom roms can not be returned to official by doing an OTA update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UgO87:
but it will be problems with warrantys?

my doubt is if the phone has a malfuntion it still will be acepted in the warranty without the stock rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
You shouldn't have a problem with a hardware malfunction, and if you restore to stock using the RUU, they are likely to be unaware of any previous modifications.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
I am getting ready to upgrade to a DINC2. I have been reading up on the threads about the phones coming pre-loaded with GB. Is there a way to tell if one phone is Froyo vs. GB? Is there a date stamp/code on the box that may let you know that one was shipped prior to when VZW started loading GB?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wyattyoss:
... What's the question?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Sorry, hit Enter on accident and it posted the thread before I could get out what I wanted to ask.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
No. Nothing on the box or anything. You can go into 'about phone'>'software version'> and there you can see if it's Android version 2.2.1 or 2.3.4.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Thanks for the reply. I wouldn't go into a store and ask a salesman to check, but I do know a guy who just started working at VZW. However, he's not up on this stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jccowardin:
Just be your own consumer advocate, let them know you want a phone with 2.2. If they ask why, you can tell them or you can say it is not their business but I would definitely stand up for myself. Or possibly just lie to them and tell them you have an app required for work that is not compatible with GB. Be creative, they'll most likely give you what you want if you are polite yet assertive. And as always if it has GB and you aren't happy with it you can return it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tifford:
I'm an indirect agent for Verizon, living in Birmingham, AL... the Inc2s we have are all 2.2 out of the box (at least this first batch from our distributed is).

let me know if you're interested...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mikeew83:
Unfortunately you can be as assertive as you like but it depends all on the shipment no matter a corporate store or indirect agent they have no control over what software the device has in it stock

Sent from my DINC2 in Yuma, AZ
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] k_nivesout:
I don't really see what the necessity is to be secretive about why you want a device with 2.2. The guy I've talked to at my local Verizon store has a rooted Droid X and was all too happy to talk about root related things. Based on what I've seen from other people's experiences, it's not a unique situation. Most people that work for Verizon probably have at least some enthusiasm for tech and cell phones, and with android in particular, root and ROMs are part of that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jccowardin:
I have to respectuflly disagree. Having been a vzw customer for 10+ years I have heard many times 'thats not up to us,' 'we can't control that' etc. If you keep escalating you will get someone that can help you. They obviously still have Inc2 units with 2.2 and you will find someone that can get you one if you make it known that you know whats up and they can't push you around. Also they are generally much more helpful over the phone than in the store.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tifford:
if you're still within your 14 days, return it where you got it, and I'll process your upgrade / new line with a spankin new Droid incredible 2 running 2.2... I'll ship it to you. or if you want to drive to Alabama... whichever's easier for you ;-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Ikonoclasm:
That's not how it works. Inventory managers are pressured to get old inventory off of shelves ASAP. Reps are told to sell the phones that have been on the shelves longer first.

That being said, I haven't even seen any 2.3 Inc2's in my market. I would never had known they were shipping 2.3 devices if it weren't for XDA, lol. Anyway, reps are usually cool with rooting and will look to see which version is present on the device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jccowardin:
That may not be how it works from your perspective, but a customer has plenty of leverage and this is after all a service industry. We can agree to disagree but I've seen plenty of examples of them bending over backwards for a competent and polite customer.

Either way, I think it is in the OP's best interest to let them know what he wants and be assertive.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Thanks for all of the replies, they have been helpful. I will hit up a few different stores (VZW and Dealers) to see if I can find one with Froyo. After getting root for the Eris, I can't imagine having another phone without it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SirVilhelm:
Do you have a Costco near by? I picked up the DI2 last Saturday for $30 and it still has Froyo. You can almost guarantee that anything from VZ will be updated. And if it isn't they will try to update it when they activate the phone. The Costco guy tried because as soon as he turned on the phone it wanted to update. I simply told him no, I plan on rooted the phone so do not accept the update. He shrugged and handed me the device.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Unfortunately, there is no Costco nearby. There is a Sam's Club and I think they are running a deal on the DINC2s, maybe they will still have some with Froyo.

I have been checking a couple of third party retailers like Sam's and Costco. When they upgrade you from one Android to another are they doing it with your current plan setup? Mainly I am concerned about retaining unlimited data. I understand that we are "grandfathered" in if you had it prior to July 2011. Sometimes I notice, it almost seems like they are not "carrying over" your old plan so to speak but signing you up for the comparable one that is in the system now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SirVilhelm:
I don't know about Sams Club but Costco just renews your current plan. They treat it the same as if you went into Verizon
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Thanks for the reply. One last question, at what point during the activation process does the phone try to update to GB? Or did you just let the guy know ahead of time not to update it?

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I don't think it happens as part of the activation process, at least it didn't on mine. I activated the phone, it rebooted, I immediately put it in airplane mode as soon as it booted back up and then proceeded with the AlphaRev s-off process.

I think it starts downloading the update as soon as it's activated and connects, so you have a small window before or while it downloads to turn the radios off to prevent it from completing. So if you activate it at a store, just make sure you at least turn off at mobile data until you get home. You can still use it as a cell phone, and I'm pretty sure it won't download the update over wifi.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SirVilhelm:
As soon as you get data (after activation) it will download the update and ask to install it. So what usually happens is that they activate the phone and take their time showing you features or having you setup your google account while the phone downloads the update. I simply told them that I do not need their assistance with any of that and took the phone before it had time to download.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
Thanks again for all of the replies, this has been great info. Hopefully, I will find a DINC2 with Froyo.
